    Do you turn your computer off or is it on 24/7?

    Another relevent question by MrThumbs.

    I always leave my computer on 24/7/365. matter of fact there are at least 4 systems running nonstop in this house.

    I found they last longer for some reason but not enough years experience
    to make a hardcore study out of that. Just the people that use the switch daily have powersupply and HD issues a thing ive hardly experienced.

    Anyway.. going to bed in a few.. bad flu.. ill leave the system on.

    btw: i have a sony VAIO laptop thats been on 24/7 for 9 months or so (i use it to monitor my cams) and although the bitch is hotter than my heating it still works.

                                  it's not 1996 and I don't have an IBM 386. no need to run non-stop.

                                  shut down every night
                                  money talks and bullshit walks.

                                          I always keep my computers on 24/7. When I feel bad for them I'll do a reboot.
